Divinity

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup hot water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 stiff-beaten egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla

Butter sides of heavy 2 quart saucepan. In it combine sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly till sugar dissolves and mixture comes to boiling. Then cook to hard-ball stage (250) without stirring. Remove from heat.
Pour hot syrup slowly over stiff- beaten whites, beating constantly at high speed with electric beater. Continue beating till mixture forms soft peaks and begins to lose its gloss. Stir in vanilla.

Drop by teaspoon on waxed paper: swirl each candy to a peak. If divinity becomes too stiff for twirling, add a few drops of hot water. Makes 1 1/2 dozen candies.
